It’s another match of being one hundred percent, giving the best version and being competitive. We must You have a lot of character with the ball, don’t let them take it from us, To be strong and generate danger. We have to play a game like Osasuna, which we didn’t concede too much.

And Alberto, who is playing tonight with the affiliate and then will travel to be with us tomorrow.”
16 years without Atleti winning the league: “I always say that statistics exist to be broken, and I hope it will be positive. It all comes down to believing in ourselves and why not break this bad line, knowing what’s in front of us, trusting our players.”
